hoopa hillclimb 2007, day 1, turn 9

[valeriemci1]

Hey I live in Eureka and have never heard of this from anyone...Hupa is way up in the hills from where I live.

that old ass 914 and that crx nailed that corner

[Eggdude16]

my dad was in the 2003 Hoopa HillClimb. He had the 1968 Spitfire with the 327. 3rd fastest. But there was that 1 Corvette, the black one. He also participated in Autocross at Samoa by the beach. Ahhh.. god times

Oh, and BTW, there's no Lotus Elise in that vid. There is, however, a Lotus Exige.

I live in Hoopa, the road seems impressive in videos, but not so much when I drive it...

anyway, I hope the 2009 event doesn't get snowed out...

i'm originally from nor cal but never really heard much about this. are there qualifying events in order to participate in this event? is it a certain club that does this? i saw you added this in july 07, so every year in july.

how many laps is there and about how long does the race take to complete from start to finish? is it just a 1 day thing or multiple races?

looks fun as hell

I believe Redwood Sports Car Club is the club, they have a web site and all the info on there. Once a year, 2 days, and I think 4 runs. No qualifiying, first 60 applicants get to run.

0:33 how cute the porsche made a funny sound, when the dude grinded a gear LOL

[p10gt]

Datsun 240 is HOT!

[redstripe109]

Very hot indeed

[sorich]

Reminds me of the time I dipped my nuts in coconut oil!!!

[redstripe109]

I guess that means you really liked it!

[Matt091988]

Great corner you chose to film on!

[redstripe109]

thanks, but it wasn't my choice as that was where I happened to be stationed for work duty. I would love to have gotten more footage from all the other corners as they are just as challenging and exciting..too bad.

[RingerRacing]

what about the last rx7 ..crazy power

[redstripe109]

yeah his time up the hill was pretty impressive

[IGO18DUMMY]

no one pulled harder than the red Z

[grantsfo]

Ouch! You caught me catching reverse twice in the 914. LOL! That V8 240Z was awesome!

[ilmuto]

haha, i was wondering what that sound was

[redstripe109]

I guess I could have edited those two clips down a little to not have the misshift in there, too late now though

[grantsfo]

No way ! Its perfect! 914's are known for their rather temperamental shifting. That corner was putting strange load on shift linkage - it went away when I went faster and used 2nd gear through the corner on Sunday. Great fun!
